Re: What happened to Moto voice???
I just got my (2014) Moto X a few days ago (and the update a few hours ago) and am severely disappointed in Moto Voice. I had a 2013 Moto X for a while and LOVED using the handsfree 'Ok Google Now' commands. Moto Voice? It's ruining the Moto X.
#1) Over the past 2 days, I have had Moto X come on twice with other people talking in the background. My old Moto X seemed to be able to pick my voice out of a crowd (it was impressive).
#2) The LAG of using Moto Voice to open Google to give me an answer is silly. Its like it has to listen to each set of instructions twice - once on Moto Voice, and once on Google Now. Just plain Google Now on my Nexus 7 is way, way faster.
#3) The new update (Oct 16 i think) says "Opening Google" during every activity in which it uses Google. This is SO ANNOYING. Its so bad, that I am avoiding using Moto Voice.
To me, it seems like Moto Voice is a downgrade from the original Moto X Touchless Controls.... .and this is so disappointing! I am really loving most of my Moto X features, but touch less control is one of the Moto X's prime standout features. But in its current state, its more annoying than helpful, and I would rather just press a button and have Google Now launch. I have 11 more days before I am out of my return window - we shall see.
